Start from the thief

"The Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains has been broken."

Li Huan stood behind Yelu Mingjing, with his pupils cut into vertical lines.

Yelu Mingjing frowned. Could it be that someone had entered before him?

There are at least four interior scenes in Chang'an City now. Which force has the ability to not only break through their defenses, but also destroy the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map?

Tibet? They can't.

The Red Lotus? They are even worse.

It can't be that the Emperor of Liao and the Imperial Master have gone crazy and mobilized the entire country to assassinate Li Tong?

You two can do whatever you want, but please don't ruin my big plan.

Yelu Mingjing's eyes became fierce. There was only one step left in his plan, which was to launch a surprise attack on Chang'an and force the entire Tang Dynasty to come to the rescue, repeating his feat of taking on a city with a single sword and completely crushing any possible resistance. After all, Li Tong was not only the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, but also the one who was secured to the throne by the academy. If the people from the academy did not come to rescue him, then no one would dare to follow them in doing anything they wanted to do in the future. A few cowardly academy teachers would be no different from being dead.

As for the two failed princes that he had spent a lot of effort and means to trick, one of their tasks was to decipher the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with Li Tong who had been hiding in it. Now, their role is only half left.

"No matter who broke it, it's good for us, Mr. Wan, don't you think so?"

Yelu Mingjing looked at Wan Qiming who was lying at his feet with a smile. The other party was an expert in the art of setting up barriers, but unfortunately he was still far behind Yelu Mingjing who could break all barriers with one sword. It would have been fine if he had tried his best to escape, but in order to send a message back, he stayed for a while and was caught up by Yelu Mingjing.

"The news has been passed back. There are at least three inner scenes in the palace. No matter what conspiracy you have, you will never succeed."

Wan Qiming was covered in blood, all the major acupoints in his body were pierced, his cultivation level plummeted, and he was now no different from a useless person.

"When I was in power, I never saw you being so loyal."

Li Huan kicked Wan Qiming in disgust, feeling very angry.

"Hey, hey, after your majesty ascended the throne, he worked hard to govern the country, and the people were united. He defeated Tubo and Liao in succession, and the Red Lotus Sect surrendered. What about you? How long did you stay in power? The country was in chaos, and the people were living in misery, and you were still flirting with the running dogs of the underworld. Do you look like a wise ruler at all?"

Seeing that he had no hope of survival, Wan Qiming felt much more helpless and mocked Li Huan without any mercy.

Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the special features of the Li family, Li Huan would most likely not have become a cultivator. Although the status of an emperor in the mortal world is high, it is still a bit difficult to convince an inner realm. Even now, Taoist Miao and Old Man Wuxi, who are guarding Li Tong, are mainly cooperative.

"Haha, Li Huan, it seems that you are not very popular. Why don't you stop waiting for the teacher in the academy and go with him? With luck, you can enter the inner scene."

Li Huan's face was grim, and he snorted coldly: "I don't like his hiding skills!"

"Li Jian, what about you? If you want, I can give you a blood pill now, and then you can absorb his blood essence and reach at least the seventh level."

Li Jian clenched his fists, but finally let go.

"I don't need it for now. Compared to Mr. Wan, I want to meet Li Tong more. If she also gets enlightened, I hope she can return my cultivation to me."

"Ha, hypocrisy."

Yelu Mingjing was increasingly disgusted by the two brothers. One was headstrong and incredibly stupid, while the other was a little clever but terribly hypocritical.

"It looks like you have saved your life for now, Mr. Wan. Let's go to Chang'an and meet the three inner scenes you mentioned to see if they can stop me."

Zhao Yushu took a piece of paper and asked for directions many times. After going around for a long time, he finally arrived at an exquisite house in Xuanpingfang.

The house is not big, and judging from the outer wall it seems to have been recently renovated. The main door is closed, and there are no doormen or servants guarding the house like in a wealthy family.

Zhao Yushu repeatedly confirmed the address on the paper, then walked up and knocked on the door.

"coming."

A familiar voice sounded, and brisk footsteps came from inside the door. The steps were steady and fast, and it was obvious that he was a master.

"Who is it?"

"An old friend from Dongdu."

The footsteps inside the door stopped. Although he was still a few steps away from the gate, he did not continue walking.

"Ahem, it's me, Zhao Yushu."

Lao Zhao felt that he was not good at showing off. He was okay at chopping people, but he was not good at pretending to be artistic.

He started walking again, and the door opened. Mo'er seemed to have a lot of words in mind, but finally he sighed.

"Young Master is here, come in, Miss Yun is here too."

Before Zhao Yushu came, he did hesitate whether to come or not. After he had just traveled through time, Sister Yun had taken good care of him. When solving the case of Shen Qixing, Mo'er had made great efforts, and there was indeed a vague affection between the two of them. Later, when he was being escorted back to Chang'an by Mr. Ge, Mo'er risked his life to save him, and Zhao Yushu was extremely moved.

Later, he met Lan Ling, and after experiencing a series of life and death together, the two confirmed their relationship. As for Mo'er, if she was in danger, Zhao Yushu could risk his life to save her, but for his feelings for her, he could only say sorry.

The experienced Yun Gu saw through this very early on. After Zhao Yushu and Lan Ling got engaged, she decisively took Mo'er away from Dongdu and went to Chang'an, probably with the intention of avoiding her.

Logically speaking, Zhao Yushu shouldn't have come.

But he had to come.

Sister Yun looked at Zhao Yushu, whose face looked a little haggard due to fatigue and sadness, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

When I first met this scholar a year ago, he was still a young man full of vigor and vitality.

"The teacher is gone."

Sister Yun nodded, her expression gloomy: "Old Ge sent a letter."

Zhao Yushu was silent for a moment: "I will kill Yelu Mingjing."

Sister Yun trembled slightly: "You are no match for him."

"Maybe. If I win, I'll give you his body."

"Thank you."

Mo'er was confused as he listened to the conversation: "What are you talking about? What is the relationship between Yelu Mingjing and my aunt? Why do you want my aunt?"

Sister Yun sighed: "My sister has been waiting for him for fifteen years. It's time for him to go and accompany her."

Zhao Yushu stood up and said, "Sister Yun, Mo'er, take care of yourself."

Zhao Yushu came and said only four sentences, conveying a message and giving an explanation.

When he walked out of the house, he saw several figures flying across the sky.

Chang'an's warning array sounded immediately, and several figures rushed quickly towards the Daming Palace.

Zhao Yushu quickened his pace. The final decisive battle was about to begin, but this was not his war.

There was one thing he had to do, otherwise he would not be qualified to stand opposite Yelu Mingjing.

Yelu Mingjing landed in front of the Daming Palace, looked at the three people standing side by side, smiled, threw Wan Qiming over, and then waved his hand lightly, and Li Huan and Li Jian ran straight into the imperial city.
